In the whole State there were cast ouly 48, Ofcl votes for pro bibition, while 164,133 were cast against it. Uniou couuty cast 8!H for the measure and 1094 against. Only three counties in the Bute, Clay, Cherokee and Traiisylvauia, gave a majority for prohibition. The leathers association of the county met at the graded school building in Monroe lust Saturday, about 35 being preseut. Prof. J. A. Bivins gave a most interesting lecture on nature study in the schools. The next meeting will be beld on the last Saturday in reb ruary. The colored teachers did not meet. The storm of Sunday, which reached here about midnight with a severe downpour of hail, was gen era! over the Atlantio and Gulf coasts. Near Fort Mills a house was blown down and fonr children were covered in the ruins, and one was killed, a little girl eleven year oiu. a. neavy pianx nau piuueu ber down, aud a long sharp nail, protruding from the piece of tim ber, had penetrated ber breast, causing almost instantaneous death. At the State meeting of the Cot tou Association In Charlotte last week, Mr. C. C. Moore decliued to aocept the presideucy again unless a number of responsible Individ nala euarauteed his salary. This was not done, neither was bis back salary raised. Ibe executive com mittee was instructed to see if it could make the guarantee, in which case Mr. Moore will resume the work. Mr. T. J. W. Broom was elected a member of the State ex ecutive committee. The southern aide of the public square since court opened haa pre tented the old time appearance of court week. At one time yesterday the free eutertainmeut was all that any reasonable citizen could ex pecU At one place a travelling philanthropist aelling whet rocks held forth in choice oratory, while close by him a local auctioneer sold an antique stock or clothing, neck wear, pajamas aud pettiaoata, and further on down a travelling street preacher beld forth on tip and dam nation. And all the while the rip trader put on tone fancy frills on the outskirts of the crowds. A young man named Hege, iu Davie couuty, went lose bis sweet heart Sunday night and took along his new pistol, which he had bought Saturday. The balls were takeo out and the girl and the boy soap ped the revolver at one another al ternately for tome time. Just be fore be got ready to leave Mr. liege replaced the cartridges in the pis tol and laid it aside. The young lady, not knowing that the pistol waa loaded, picked It np and point ed it at Mr. Hege as the had done earlier In the evening. The pistol fired and Mr. liege fell to the floor, mortally wounded. Yeunr Haa Killed Cosccrd flaa and W'omu Charged With the Crime Tboa. Fnrr, a 13 year-old white boy w bo lived with hi mother about a mile north of Iowa, waa killed last Tnesday Bight, aad a negro aiaa and woman, Cbarlea Stradford and Sue Walls, are ia jail charged with the crime of having murdered him. Sue Watt lived about a half mile from the atotber of the boy, Mra. Sallie Furr, aod the maa implicated with her worked for the Monroe Oil M ill. Late oa Tuesday evening yonng Furr went to hi brother in law, Mr. Harvey Fly on, who Uvea right aear by, ami asked to be al lowed to ride his mule off awhile, not saying where be waa going. Nothing was thought of the matter till some time in the night when one of the in males of the Flyno home happened to be np aod in tbe yard, and saw that a man and wo man bad hitched another of Mr. Flynn'a mulea to hia boggy and were driving off with it Thealarm waa given and it waa found that tbe mule that the boy had ridden off in the afternoon bad returned without the rider, but with blood splotchea on tbe saddle. Mr. Flynn and aome neighbors began a search for the boy and about four or five o'clock in the morniug they found hia dead body in a stubble field about thirty yards from Sue Watts' bouse. They also found tbe mole and buggy nearby. It ia the supposition that the boy was killed in tbe Watts bouse aud that the buggy waa stolen for the purpose of bauliug tbe body away. Blind tiger liquor, no doubt, bad its part iu the work. Coroner V. D. 8ikea waa notified of the murder and Chief of Police T. B. Laney weut out aod did some fine work in getting evidence con cerning the murder, and as a result he soon bad Sue Watts and Charles Stradford under arrest and in jail. Coroner Sikea and a jury, con sisting of Messrs. John Welsh, T. N. Hale, Tip Helms, G. W. Flynn, J. E. Mt-Lellan and W. T. Caskey, held au inqoest over the body. The jury returned tbe following ver dict: "W e find that Thomas r urr came to his death from gunshot wounds in the bands of Charles Stradford, colored, and Susie Watts, colored." Tbe man and woman were brought before tbe Recorder yes terday morning, but the bearing was set for February 1 llbu Superior Court Proceedings. Judge E. B. Jones of Winston opened court yesterday, the term being oue week, criminal, Solicitor L. D. Kobiuson prosecutiug. Tbe grand jury was drawn as follows: J. C. Ashcraft, W. L. Bigger, N. W. Braswell, Lee Boyd, J. W. Belk, A. J. Wythe, J. W. Clontx, J. M. Carraway, T. F. Goidon, W. 8. P. Hunter, J. L. Little, J. A. Melton, D. Marsh (foremau), W. J. Simius, W. M. Smith, T. M. Tuck er, T. F. Tadlock, J. Baxter Wil- lams. Mr. P. A. Parker ia tbe officer of tbe Jury. Judge Jones made a vigorous charge, laying special stress, first, on non-support of wives and chil dren by husbands. Tbe subject of lynching waa discussed with great earnestness; bis denunciation of the bateruluess of the crime was Im pressive. He began by saying that he was once present at a lynching, persuading the crowd to desist, and that when he became judge he re solved never to charge a grand jury without calling atteutiou to it. The man who leads a mob is usually full of liquor and the passion of bell, while if there are any good men they follow in the rear, aud are never afterwards good men in their own eyes or their neighbors. It Is shameful to take out a poor negro and hang him because be is a negio. The white man haa bad superior privileges, and it is our duty to guard aud protect tbe uegro in his rights. Medou't expect bini to rule this county, be doesu't expect to, aud nobody but a fool expects us to allow him to do so; but e have the grave responsibility of the superior race, and when oue of them steps aside and commits a heinous crime, we must try biui according to law and not degrade ourselves by murdering him. Other points were discussed with emphasis, such as Interfering with or seeking to influence jurymen; perjury; stilling criminal prosecu tions; tampering with witnesses; neglect of officers to perform their duty; pistol carrying; proper care of convicts; robbery of minor chil dren by guardians and admtnlstra tors; care for insane till tbey can be sent to hospital; food adulter tions; living in adultery; gambling: either shooting craps or dealing iu cotton future. In tbe eye of the law aod of God these are the same, and we are called npon to pot the little negro on the chain gang, and yet grand juries will not indict gamblers in cotton futures. The man who speculates in futures may belong to the church and pay his money, but be doesn't go there; he can't stand the fire. He lets his wife and children go, and be goes to the hotels and seta about telling what he's made and corrupting the young men who are working on small salaries. And bey fall. Tbe man who violate the law by apec nlating in futures, Corrupt the youth and cauaea thousands of prop erly raised boyt to be ruined in try log to imitate them. The following cases bare been disposed of: Milton Dargao, keep ine disorderly house; discharged. George Oarelock, bringing In liquor for tale: not guilty. C. P.

Lilt of east Monroe township, were married at the borne of the bride's parents last Wednesday afternoud at half past three. Rev. Mr. J. F. Sbiun or Marsbville officiated, aud tbe cere mony waa wituessed by a large number of friends and relatives, including mauy people from Moo roe. Tbe bride aud groom received many vnaluable and useful pres ent. After tbe ceremony the bridal party went to tbe home of the groom's ancle, Squire B. F. Park er, where a sumptuous supper waa served.

Tbe Senate and House of Repre sentatives of North Carolina con vened in special session in tbe Cap itol at 11 o'clock sharp last Tues day, forty seven of the fifty mem bers of tbe upper bouse and one hundred aud three of the oue hun dred and twenty members of the lower bouse answering to their names when the roll was called. Lieut. Gov. Francis D. Winston presided over the Senate, while Speaker E. J. Justice directed the deliberations of the House. Tbe feature of tbe morning was tbe reading of the message from tbe Governor, and particularly that section relating to State prohibi tion. ' No pronouncement thus far published on this great subject has been couched in such emphatic terms. Said be: I am thoroughly satisfied that no act ever passed by any legislative body in North Car olina would give the joy and be more generally endorsed than would be the act of this General Assembly io giving prohibition to the entire 8tate." And again: "If you do this, your act will be the wisest and best ever passed by any legislative body and will be ratified and eudorsed by tbe good people of the 8tate." Neither house was in session more than an hour and twenty minutes, the reading of the Gov amor's message and a special com munication from him aud the hear ing of several rate bills being the only matters presented. The letter from the corporation commission addressed to the Governor and for warded by him to the General As sembly, asking that a law be en acted compelling tbe railroads to give notice and show cause before any trains are discontinued, sound ed well aod was the object of much favorable comiueut On Thursday the Senate commit tee on liquor traffic reported favor ably ou Long's bill for State prohi bition election, to be held on the first Thursday in August, th bill being endorsed by the Anti Saloon League, and introduced at the House and Senate morning ses sions. The bill was before the House committee all the afternoon. The bearing was adjourned until 8 o'clock. Mauy amendmeuts were proposed by members, it appear ing that Julian of Rowan, Carter of Forsyth, (owles of mikes aud Grant of Davie (the latter two Re publicans), were fighting the bill. Ilei iot Clarkson addressed the com mittee for tbe league strongly urg ing the passage of the bill just as written. At the night session of the House liquor traffic committee all amend ments offered to the prohibitiou bill were defeated, and it was re ported favorably. Addresses were made by J. A. Uartmws, Dr. O. T. V aon and Chairman Vales, repre senting the Anti Saloon League, and nrging the bill as prepared. The Senate was in session last night for three hours discussing the provisions of the compromise rate bill drafted and, reported upon la vorably by tbe oommittee on rail roads, of which Senator Graham of Orange is chairman. This bill pro vides for a rut rate of 24 cents ou all roads, except such a-i are less than 100 miles in length, which roads may charge 3 cents. No pro vision is made for mileage, this matter being left with the rail roads. Except to give the road the right to charge 15 cents of the pas sengers who fail to purchase tick ets and to prescribe the penalties in case of violations, uothing of im portanoe ia prescribed, the bill lie ing a brief, clear-cut and coucise Instrument. Tbe legislature will not be la session much longer, if any, than this week. Meeting In Shut Hall. The revival in Shot hall continues with interest. Bervioes every night at 7:30 and Sunday at 3 p. m. Set- era! have made profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the past week. Consreeationt have been very good, order perfect almost, and the very beat attention has been given to the preaching of the word, and we have been told that some of the best peo ple of town have been in attendance. The meetings will continue every night as given above, indefinitely. Gome one. come all to the services, "to the help of the Lord against the mighty." A singer is expected thi week to join us, which will he added interest to the meeting. Free to all Yours ia Hit service for the lost, H. W. Hawkins, Th Three Candidates lor Qoveroor oa th 5oot. Sal Ura Sfrtal k Ckartour Obwrr. Only those alive to tbe situation, well informed and astute, ran ap preciate tbe vast amount of politi cal work that ia now going on at the capital. Tbe presence of tbe three candidates for gubernatorial honors in ths city this week ouly directed attention to this phase of the present station of the General Assembly, which baa been exciting considerable quiet comment for some time past. Mr. Locke Craig of Asbeville arrived last Monday aud fur several daya was in confer ence with his friends. Wednesday Cungreaaman W. W. K itch in of Roxboro ran down from Greensboro aud Durham to look in on tbe leg islature, leaterday Col. Ashley Home of Clayton blew in for the same purpose. AU stopped at tbe larborough; all wore their most affable smile and went away high ly gnatiiied and confident of their ultimate nomination aud election. While tbey themselves departed, they left capable and energetic lieutenants on tbe ground to look after their respective iuterests. If the convening of this special ses sion of the General Assembly does nothing at all to commend itself to tbe voters of th State, it did one thing, and that waa to give tbe politicians the opportuaity of doing a lot of missionary work in the out lying districts of the State which otherwise could hardly have been reached.

SHAPING HIS CAREER. county apportionment is altogether or nearly exhausted, may continue for at least half of the remainderof the term. R. N. Nisbet, Co. Sunt was busiuesa. The following ftorv one of many which are told about his novel methods of distributing favors: Mr. Girard had a favorite clerk, about whom lie alnavs said he in tended "to do well by Ben I.ippin- cott." So when Lippincott got to lie twenty -one ho cxik'ctcd to hear something of his future prospects and perhaps get a helping hand to start. But Girard carefully avoided the subject. The clerk mustered up rourago. 1 suppose 1 am tree, sir, saia he, "and 1 thought I would say something to you as to my course. What do you think 1 had better do?" "Yes, yes, I know you arc," said the old milliohaire, "and my ad vice is that you go and learn the cooper trade." Thi nearly froze the clerk; but, recovering equilib rium, he said if Mr. Girard was in earnest he would do to. "1 am in earnest." And lippin cott sought the best cooper in Spring Garden, hecanio sn appren tice and in due time could make as good a barrel as th best. He an nounced to Mr. Girard that he had learned his trade and was rendy to set up in business. J ho old man seemed gratified ana immediately ordered three of th best barrels he could moke. Tlio young cooper did hi pret tiest and wheeled them up to the old rn nil's counting room. Girard pronounced them first rat and do manded the price. "One dollar," said Lippincott, "is now u low s 1 can live by. "Cheap cuoucu. ilake out your bill." The bill was made out, and Gi rard settled it with ' check for $20,- 000, which he ccompanied with this moral to the story: "lhere, take that. Invest it in the best possible manner, and if you are unfortunate and lose it you havo a trade to fall buck npon which will afford you a good living."
